When I sign up to play online casino games do I have to provide real information about myself? Also, if I do provide my real details is there any guarantee of privacy from the casino or will the casino share my information and add me to email lists. Is my payment information secure?

If you are playing online casino games for free then you are not obligated to provide your real name and address, or any of your billing information. However, it is advised that you provide a real email address. Many sites require players to click on a link which is emailed to the address they provide before they are allowed to play games or download software. Additionally, important news about bonuses and promotions can be sent to your email address that you may not want to miss.

If you are playing for real money then you must provide full and accurate name, email and billing address. If you are worried about privacy you will be happy to know that online casinos guarantee player privacy. In fact, most online casinos even store player information in servers that are located offshore where there is no access allowed from private organizations so you have nothing to be concerned about.

It is also important to note that any player who is found lying about his or her name in a real money game, or a player that has created multiple accounts under different names to be used in fraudulent activity with be immediately removed from the online casino site at which they are playing.
